Monkey With a Tool Belt and the Seaside Shenanigans by Chris Monroe

Chico Bon Bon is a monkey with a tool belt. He's very handy at fixing things around the neighbourhood. His friend Clark is on vacation, but something's wrong; Clark needs Chico Bon Bon to come right away! Things have been broken in mysterious ways and they could really use a monkey with a tool belt. Chico Bon Bon might just be the monkey for the job - but can he fix the broken things and catch the culprit?

I've always enjoyed monkeys, and I think monkeys with tool belts might just be my new favourite kind of monkeys. This is a title that has loads of appeal. It's got tons of bright pictures, humour, a bit of a mystery, animals, and tools. It's a great combination for lots of kids and the adults who are reading with them. Be sure to check it out.

About My Blog's Name

My blog name comes from people crowding re-shelving trucks in the library, eager to see what other people were returning. There's an excitement in finding out what other people are reading, and it's a great way to get ideas for what to read next.

Looking for More Books?

For each title, I've listed a few other books under Read It With. These are titles that are similar in some way: plots, tones, themes, settings, characters, and so on. They're not straight-up read-alikes; for example, sometimes a juvenile book might have a picture book, a YA book, or an adult book listed. There's not really a science to how I come up with them - they're just meant to spark something if you're interested in a title.
